India, March 4 -- A 30-year-old rider died, and two pillion riders were severely injured after their bike fell off the Naigaon East-West bridge on Sunday. Police said motorists travelling here are at high risk of falling off the bridge as its side railings are of low height.

Around 5.30pm on Sunday the rider, Tushar Jogle, was triple-riding with two friends - Sujal Malpekar, 19, and Sachin Sutar, 35. All three were residents of Chandrapada in Naigaon East. Police said as Jogle was travelling from Naigaon to Umelaphata, he lost control of the two-wheeler, and it fell off the bridge, killing him on the spot. Malpekar and Sutar were grievously injured.

The Manikpur police have registered an Accidental Death Report.
